      Starting eXceed

      1. Log on to PC Caledonia

      2. Click on Computing and Electrical Folder Icon

        Note: if you do not have a "Computing and Electrical Folder", then select the Installer icon, and then select the CEE option and this will create this folder.

      3. The folder contains the applications shown.

        These are applications specifically for this department, but can be accessed from any PC Caledonia computers.

      4. Click on CEE xterm Folder and the computer will respond by displaying a window indicating the names of all the computers you can access remotely by eXceed.

        You should then select which computer you wish to access and click on its icon. Assuming I wish to access the linux computer called clio I would click on the icon for clio.xs.

      5. A Login Window appears

      6. Complete the Login window (shown here completed for me to log on to clio)

        • Give your CEE login name (Note in the example here my login name is jmb - your login name will start with cee)

        • Give your password for CEE machines

      7. A Unix xterm appears on the screen

        Please note that if you give your login name or password incorrectly, you will be notified in the message window that appears. If you have logged on correctly simply press OK and this message box will disappear. It is not required. Otherwise, close eXceed and start again - this time providing the correct login details. Remember - it is your CEE login and Password which are required (not your PC-Cal details)

      Programming using eXceed

      1. In the Unix xterm, start an editor, for example nedit

      2. The editor window will appear on the screen.

      3. You can now type in the program in the editor window

      4. Save the program ensuring that the filename ends ".cpp" (or .C or .cxx). Using nedit, the Save option can be selected from the File pull-down menu.

      5. Return to the Unix window and compile the program. In this example, I saved the program as the file hello.cpp, so to compile it

        g++ -o hello hello.cpp

      6. This will have produced an executable called hello which can be run by typing

        hello

      7. You can now type in another program and repeat the above steps

      Quitting X-windows (eXceed)

      1. If you wish to finish your eXceed session, first exit from the editor. For nedit, the Exit option is obtained from the File pull-down menu.

        The X-windows session can be terminated by clicking the right mouse button on the eXceed icon in the task bar.

        • Select the Close option
        • A dialogue box will appear to confirm the exit procedure
